Edit: Well that was heckin’ cute. I understand there’s a time limit, but, as others have pointed out, it would have been nice to see what some of the other characters grew up to be. The Buster-centric episode didn’t need to be included, and this would have given more room to expand on the future scene. More or less satisfying end of an era for me as someone who grew up without cable and predominantly had PBS Kids to watch for cartoons.
Seriously bummed that we didn’t see a grown up Fern and Sue Ellen. Those two are one of my favorite characters in the show next to George. I really wanted to see Fern as a successful horror author as an adult.
The guy that voices adult Arthur just so happens to be Michael Yarmush, who was the original voice actor for Arthur. That’s a nice touch if you ask me.
But for real, I remember being old enough that I saw the Arthur premiere, and I even remember that my favorite episode was the chicken pox/circus episode. It really had a great run and captured the childhood experience without being too preachy or condescending. Thank you Arthur and all involved!
I grew up in a town next to where Marc Brown lives, and he always came to our elementary school and would read and talk to the kids, so it’s really bittersweet that it’s ending after all this time. What a great finale though!
I remember this show when I was a kid! Truly the end of an era!! Very clever of them to do a “full circle” thing too (the first episode was about Arthur’s glasses).
Arthur was a little past my time, but I always appreciated the fact that it kept going all these years. I thought it was a lovely episode, and I’m always a sucker for a 20 Years Later type ending.
I also enjoyed the A-113 reference. That was a nice touch.
If I remember correctly, arthur was the last show to use traditional hand drawn animation. Imo as good as it was after, it definitely lost a little but when it changed to the clip art style animation.
What about Brain and Fern and Sue Ellen and Mr Ratburn? Yeha I know I am 30 years old and talking about the Arthur finale but come on! Lol. Seriously though I hope the writers say what those characters end up doing
End of era. So many kids watch this growing up as it became a staple of PBS kids. With the catch theme song, characters,books, & memes. Marc Brown’s Arthur really filled a after school void for myself and so many more. I will never forget the feeling of it being 4:30 CT and Changing the channel to 9. Arthur and memories will always be with me and others. Here’s to 25 Great years. Thank You!
So is Buster a college professor or is Kate just a third-year senior at high school? She’d have to be 20 or 21 in the end.
Also the thumbnail gives me major Drawfee channel vibes, lol
But it was sweet! I’m sure the target audience won’t even realize anything was special about this episode.
Also here’s a weird bit of trivia: the first Arthur book came out over a decade *before* the final Mary Poppins book. The first Mary Poppins book came out around 20 years before Marc Brown was born.
Well, I gotta watch this. Thanks for posting.

Definitely going to watch this, though I’m probably going to be very distraught when I’m done
Edit: Yep, I’m distraught. That was a beautiful ending. Really nice little throwback
Lol why does he have hair now? He was bald the whole time.
Here I go diggin in again.

It was sweet to see adult Arthur become a professional writer. And he met Marc Brown! Very cute.
Francine grew up to be more butch than I could have ever dreamed when I first saw her 25 years ago. Bless!
Buster: “To watch more Arthur”
Hits a little differently now at the end
DW the cop 😂

This was a great show growing up, and I still watch an episode every once in awhile. My kiddo never liked it but it’s always been a fun show to me
This was the one show I found I enjoyed on PBS kids as I got older. I found most of their shows too childish, but could enjoy Arthur for quite a bit.
Yo why am I crying in the club?

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country”
😔
Aww this was such a cute ending. I remember watching this cartoon in high school and college. It was always a nice way to relax.
Adult Arthur looks like he spends too much time on Reddit
He’s been bald this entire fucking time
Time’s a flat circle.
Why could all these animals talk but his dog couldn’t.
He dresses like an adult as a kid and like a kid as an adult.
Most anticipated finale since “Seinfeld”. 😂
Because of Arthur and a friend of mine from church I was able to cheer up when I was crying about the fact I had to get glasses.
What a lovely ending.

I never before saw an episode of Arthur so I’m not expert, but I thought this was a very good and sweet ending to a TV show that I know nothing about.

What ever happened to Sue Ellen, Fern, Prunella, the Tibble twins, and Brain?
seems odd that many of the original Edgewood Elementary members were not even mentioned
especially when George and DW’s friend got more time
The animation style is so painful looking but I had to watch the last episode of one of my favorite shows as a kid
End of an era
Considering the show went for over 20 seasons, was there a particular reason that it’s only now ended and not just kept going like The Simpsons?

This made me sad for some reason 😂
A-113 reference. Nice
